   I've been reading the emacs manual from beginning to end. Painful, as good chunks known. Rewarding, as gems that are new to me exposed.

     (set-background-color "black") is the correct choice. But, M-x list-colors-display and go nuts.

     @vanden I valued the !Emacs manual for learning about terms like the “point”, but I haven’t read much past that part yet.

     In case unclear, (set-background-colour "colorname") goes into your .emacs.

     I got terminology from the built in tutorial. I've been picking stuff up for years. Never knew C-x z. I've been M-x up, again and again.

     @kete my favorite part is that C-x z z z is "repeat 3 times"
